Bernard V. Mora

Bernard V. Mora serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W072 Endist Nashville office, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting civil infrastructure and military facility modernization. His role centers on executing competitive acquisitions aligned with federal contracting regulations, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS while advancing the agency’s mission to sustain critical water resource systems, transportation networks, and public works installations. Mora specializes in professional training and management development contracts, leveraging his expertise to deliver mission-critical capacity-building services that enhance workforce readiness across Army engineering operations. Mora maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including C.J. Mahan Construction Company, LLC, Graham Services LLC, and TNT Group 2 LLC, all of whom provide specialized services in infrastructure support, logistics coordination, and technical training delivery. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a preference for established vendors with proven track records in delivering complex, mission-aligned solutions. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, structured task order execution, and rigorous contract administration to ensure operational continuity and quality assurance. Mora’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-asides. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most capable offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical proficiency and past performance over programmatic small business targets. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains transparent and compliant with all socioeconomic reporting requirements. His primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 611430—Professional and Management Development Training—indicating deep specialization in designing and awarding contracts for leadership development, technical instruction, and organizational training programs. These acquisitions support the Army’s workforce modernization goals, ensuring engineers and project managers receive accredited, mission-relevant education in infrastructure planning, safety protocols, and federal project management standards.
